Intermediate Football - Another disappointing outing saw Blacks and Whites lose to Piltown in their Intermediate Football game last Friday night under lights in Piltown. Blacks and Whites started the game brightly and looked to attack swiftly at each opportunity and but for some way ward shooting could have exerted their dominance a little more however a point from the boot of John Murphy settled the team. At the other end, the backs were defending excellently with Piltown forced into suffering the same shooting problems when hurried into shots by the skeough rear guard. Half way through the first half saw both teams level at just 0-1 to 0-1. Then the game began to open up and with John Murphy on song up front for skeough he slotted another three points to Piltowns two to leave Blacks and Whites ahead at the break by the minimum 0-04 to 0-03.

Piltown then responded the better in the second period and found the first two scores to move ahead, Blacks and Whites responded through an excellent Paul Murphy effort to level again before Piltown hit for what would be the deciding score of the game. Indicision on the sideline by two skeough players ended up in possession being lost and the home side worked the ball all the way from their to the visitors net. Blacks and Whites Battles hard to their credit to make a mends and got the difference back to 1 thanks to Paul Murphy again with some superb efforts from play and 45`s. However the home side tagged on some more points as skeough pushed forward to chase the game and in the end it was the goal which was the difference. B & W team: J O Grady, A Barcoe, S Kealy, B Cleere, P Joyce, N Kennedy, T Joyce, Jos Murphy, S Doyle, J Lennon, P Murphy, E Foley, K Barcoe, J Murphy, M Kelly. The lads now face Danesfort next Saturday at 3pm in Tom Walsh Park.
